West Indies trounce Zimbabwe

Undefeated half-centuries from opening batsmen Chris Gayle and Sewnarine Chattergoon propelled West Indies to an overwhelming 10-wicket triumph in the fifth one-day International against Zimbabwe on Wednesday under lights at the Beausejour Stadium.
Chasing a modest victory target of 153 in their allocation of 50 overs, West Indies did not lose a wicket, and Gayle had the privilege of hitting the winning runs in the first day/night ODI in the Caribbean, when he drove Prosper Utseya through extra cover for the last of his 13 fours.
Gayle also hit a six in his undefeated 95 - the top score - at better than a run-a-ball to earn the Man-of-the-Match award, and Chattergoon supported with eight boundaries in an unbeaten 54 from 78 balls to give West Indies an unbeatable 4-0 lead in the seven-match series.
